Shift Solenoid: Testing and Inspection

SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE

INSPECTION





1. INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SL1
(a) Measure the resistance of the valve.

Standard resistance:





(b) Connect the battery's positive (+) lead with a 21 W bulb to terminal 2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1 of the solenoid valve connector. Then check that the valve moves and makes an operating noise.
OK: Valve moves and makes operating noise.

NOTICE: While using the battery during the inspection, do not bring the positive and negative tester probes too close to each other as a short circuit may occur.





2. INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE S1
(a) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table.

Standard resistance:





(b) Connect the battery's positive (+) lead to the terminal of the solenoid connector, and the negative (-) lead to the solenoid body. Then check that the valve moves and makes an operating noise.
OK: Valve moves and makes operating noise.

NOTICE: While using the battery during the inspection, do not bring the positive and negative tester probes too close to each other as a short circuit may occur.





3. INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE S2
(a) Measure the resistance of the valve.

Standard resistance:





(b) Connect the battery's positive (+) lead to the terminal of the solenoid connector, and the negative (-) lead to the solenoid body. Then check that the valve moves and makes an operating noise.
OK: Valve moves and makes operating noise.

NOTICE: While using the battery during the inspection, do not bring the positive and negative tester probes too close to each other as a short circuit may occur.





4. INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE S3
(a) Measure the resistance of the valve.

Standard Resistance:





(b) Connect the battery's positive (+) lead to the terminal of the solenoid connector, and the negative (-) lead to the solenoid body. Then check that the valve moves and makes an operating noise.
OK: Valve moves and makes operating noise.

NOTICE: While using the battery during the inspection, do not bring the positive and negative tester probes too close to each other as a short circuit may occur.





5. INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE S4
(a) Measure the resistance of the valve.

Standard resistance:





(b) Connect the battery's positive (+) lead to the terminal of the solenoid connector, and the negative (-) lead to the solenoid body. Then check that the valve moves and makes an operating noise.
OK: Valve moves and makes operating noise.

NOTICE: While using the battery during the inspection, do not bring the positive and negative tester probes too close to each other as a short circuit may occur.





6. INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SL2
(a) Measure the resistance of the valve.

Standard resistance:





(b) Connect the battery's positive (+) lead to the terminal of the solenoid connector, and the negative (-) lead to the solenoid body. Then check that the valve moves and makes an operating noise.
OK: Valve moves and makes operating noise.

NOTICE: While using the battery during the inspection, do not bring the positive and negative tester probes too close to each other as a short circuit may occur.





7. INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SR
(a) Measure the resistance of the valve.

Standard resistance:





(b) Connect the battery's positive (+) lead to the terminal of the solenoid connector, and the negative (-) lead to the solenoid body. Then check that the valve moves and makes an operating noise.
OK: Valve moves and makes operating noise.

NOTICE: While using the battery during the inspection, do not bring the positive and negative tester probes too close to each other as a short circuit may occur.





8. INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SLT
(a) Measure the resistance of the valve.

Standard resistance:





(b) Connect the battery's positive (+) lead with a 21 W bulb to terminal 2 of the solenoid valve connector and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1, and check the operation of the valve.
OK: Valve moves and makes operating noise.

NOTICE: While using the battery during the inspection, do not bring the positive and negative tester probes too close to each other as a short circuit may occur.





9. INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SLU
(a) Measure the resistance of the valve.

Standard resistance:





(b) Connect the battery's positive (+) lead to the terminal of the solenoid connector, and the negative (-) lead to the solenoid body. Then check that the valve moves and makes an operating noise.
OK: Valve moves and makes operating noise.

NOTICE: While using the battery during the inspection, do not bring the positive and negative tester probes too close to each other as a short circuit may occur.
